.~~.-' . ~~::~~ . The other clauses were then agreed to, after which the House resumed. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the House went into Committee upon THE POST-OFFICE BILL. Colonel SIBTHORP opposed the Bill. It was brought in to afford patronage, and gratify the expectancy of some disappointed individuals. It proposed to appoint three Com missioners; he was opposed to the very name. He should feel it his duty to propose to the Home that the salaries to those Commissioners should not exceed that which was paid to the Postmaster-General. The Hon. and Gallant Member con cluded by moving that the Bill be committed that day three months. Mr. KEMBLE seconded the amendment. Mr. G 0 UL BURN did not see that any advantage would arise from the Bill over the manner in which the business of the Post-office was at present conducted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied— The change, so far from originating with the Government, had been recommended so long ago as in the time of Mr. Pitt, before the Scotch and Irish business was consolidated with the English, so that the charge of the Hon. Member opposite respecting patronage was evidently unfounded. He should propose that two of the Commissioners should be in the same situation as the subordinate officers of Woods and Forests. The necessities of the times, the pressure upon the office, proved that the change was necessary. The Bill was one which had passed the House on a former occasion. It was necessary to have in Parliament an officer connected with so extensive a department, for it could not be expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be able to answer all the questions which it might be necessary to ask upon the subject of business connected with that department. Sir ROBERT PEEL could not bow to the authority of precedents upon such an occasion as the present ; he should prefer forming a judgment according to reason in a matter of that kind. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had said that since the year 1797 the necessity for the Bill had been ad mitted ; that Mr. Pitt had been favourable to it—why, then, did not Mr. Pitt introduce a similar Bill if he thought it ne cessary Why did not any of the successive Governments up to the present period introduce it if it had been deemed of such vast importance. Since the year 1797, when they were told it had been first recommended, up to the present period, it had not been introduced. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that a public department of so much importance as the Post office required to have a principal office in the House of Com mons. If he thought so, why did he not extend the same ad vantage to the Customs and Excise, which were departments that had equal claims with the Post-office ?—( Cheers. ) The Bill proposed three Commissioners, who would require a secre tary. and he ( Sir R. Peel) supposed that secretary would have a salary equal to the present Secretary of the Post-office.— ( Hear.) He did not see any advantage in the Bill which pro mised to be an equivalent for the expense. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had said that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer could not be expected to answer all the questions con nected with the Post-office department, and that therefore it would be well to have an officer at the head of that establish ment also in Parliament. Would this officer be enabled to af ford them information sufficient to warrant the sum of 2,0001. per annum, which was to be the amount of his salary ? He feared not. For the first year he would necessarily plead his inexperience, and if, by a change of Government, his removal occurred soon after, then his successor would be in a similar position, so that they would lose the advantage of that in formation for which they were called on to pay 2,0001. a year. Perhaps his Hon. Friend near him (Colonel Sibthorp) expected that at least they would obtain by the ap pointment of those Commissioners that wisdom which is said to belong to the multitude of councillors. In this he would be disappointed, for the Bill proposed to give to any one of the Commissioners a power to act upon the part of the three, thus virtually, to a certain extent, annulling the purpose of ap pointing Commissioners at all.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) was of opinion that one person was quite sufficient to discharge such a duty. One person discharged the duties of Chancellor of the Exchequer, one person discharged the duties of Secretary of State, and he did not see that there were more important or onerous duties connected with the Post-office Department. The argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite with respect to the necessity of having the principal officer of the Post-office in Parliament, if held good, would apply equally to the Customs and Excise, which were not of less importance. For his part he was ready, sooner than consent to this Bill to forego any of the great advantages which they were told would be con ferred by it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Post-office was a Department different in its constitution and the nature of the duties which they were called on to dis charge from the Customs or Excise; many of its functions were administrative. Sir R. PEEL wished to know what the Right Hon. Gen tleman meant by administrative? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it had not only the receipt of an important portion of the public revenue, but also the administration of a great part of its outlay. Sir R. PEEL said the Customs was, in that respect, an administrative department, for it had the charge of building revenue cruisers, and the direction of a vast outlay in ad di tion to that. Mr. LABOUCHERE though that such an appointment as the Bill proposed was indispensable to the better regulation of the Post-office. Under the present system the Secretary was the person who really administered the affairs of the Post office. He (Mr. Labouchere" did not think that when the public service was in question, it would be economy to stand upon a thousand pounds more or less; and the Right Hon. Baronet, who urged it so strenuously, should recollect that in the good old times of the Post-office the Secretary alone had 5,0001. or 6,0001. a-year, besides large sums which were paid to assistant functionaries. To talk, therefore, of economy now -with that fact staring Honourable Gentlemen in the face, was like straining at a gnat after having dieted upon camels. As to the analogy sought to be established between the Post.office and the Customs and Excise departments, he ( Mr. Labouchere) could see none whatever. But, at all events, whatever course the House agreed to, there could be no system of management worse than that at present in opera. tion in that department. Under these circumstances he hoped the House would not agree to the motion of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman. Sir R. INGLIS defended the memory of the late Secre cretary of the Post-office from the aspersion cast upon it by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He thought that respect to his memory would have been sufficient to ward off these attacks, and he regretted that more good feelings bad not been evinced than to make them. There was no department of the public .service better managed than the Post-office under Sir F. I...reeling, and the public had never a better servant. Mr. LABOUCHERF, explained. He had said nothing in disparagement of Sir F. Freeling, he had not even men eioned his name, and any observations he had made were di rested against the system, and not against those individuals who may have had the management of it. Captain BOLDERO said that the sum of 5,0001. or 6,0001. a-year enjoyed by Sir F. Freeling, was a great part of it, in lieu of perquisites appertaining to his office, which he "had conditionally relinquished. He had held that most onerous and responsible situation for a period of 50 years, and a better servant the public never had. It was too bad, therefore, that he should now be disparaged, and the feelings of his family neut by the observations of the Hon. Member. ,Mr, LABOUCHERE again denied that he had said any thing'. disparaging of Sir F. Freeling , and asserted that in any eerieg he had said he bad not the slightest intention of ret k et es; for a moment on his memory. He did not make the remostese charge against him, and he believed that the Pose_ .odice and the public had derived benefit from his services. Mr. WARBURTON thought that the individual presiding over the Post-office should have a seat in that House, in order hat there should be communicated to him those suggestions it ism the representatives a the people which were at present tar dily carried into eeecution. He thought it would be a • d t i m provement of the Bill if a te m p o rary Co m m i ss io n T e e m ' a epoieted for two or three years to watch over the great chas' which were g oin g on, and in order to see that e; el • Post-offs 9 not made merely a revenue department, but the means a incre'asie;" the facility of communication through all parts of the empire. BI was perfectly convinced that no Administration, be it Whio or :4°l7' could stand which would resist those changes with regard t. co mmunication which he was sure that the public, when they p as sessed the information now divulged, would peremptorily dem. end.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. ELLIS was not at all satisfied we t the reasons urged ley the Hon. Gentlema n o p osite in su o et of the measure. He strongly o bj ecte d to burdening the c untry with addi onal expen se f or t h e so l e purpose o f giving the Treasury a tic eninee.

Colonel Sibthorp's amendment was negatived without a division, and the salaries of the three Commissioners were filled up at 2.0001., 1,5001., and 1,2001., according to Sir R. Peel's suggestion. Several clauses were verbally amended, the Chancellor of the Exchequer consenting to strike out several superfluous phrases pointed out by Sir R. Peel and Mr. Warburton. Mr. HUME suggested that the cause of all this trouble lay in the fact that the gentleman who drew up this, and other Bills, was paid according to the number of words he could in troduce.—( Laughter.) Mr. HUME moved that the 6th clause be omitted. On this the Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the report or dered to be received on Thursday. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill was read a third time, and on the motion that the Bill do pass, Lord SANDON proposed a clause to the effect that the Mayors and certain other officers in sea port towns should have the power of arresting debtors whom the creditors had reason to believe were about to quit the country. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause, as calculated to obstruct the passing of the Bill. Mr. PHILLIPS supported the clause. Mr. HUME opposed the clause, as did also Mr. WAR BURTON. Mr. S. W. WOOD said a few words in support of the clause. Sir W. FLEETWOOD opposed the clause. Lord SANDON, having said a few words in explanation, consented to withdraw the clause. Some verbal amendments proposed by the ATTORNEY GENERAL having been agreed to, The Bill then passed. , The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and • the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One o'clock. ROUSE OF LORDS, JULY 24. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at the usual hour. The Edinburgh and Leith Agreement Bill went through Committee. The Bishop of E XETER presented a petition from some place in Ireland, against the Irish Corporations' Bill. Also, a petition against the continuance of the grant to May nooth College. Also, a petition from Bradford complaining of the present factory system, and in favour (we believe) of a Ten Hours' Bill. Also a petition from Wingfield, Wilts, praying that the countenance given by the British Government in India to Hindoo idolatry might be put an end to. The Right Rev. Prelate supported the prayer of the petition, and said that next Session the subject must come under the notice of Parliament; and presented a similar petition from the Wes leyan Methodists of Exeter. Viscount MELBOURNE assured the Right Rev. Prelate and their Lordships that measures would speedily be taken upon this subject which would satisfy the most scrupulous conscience. Earl AL BEMARLE presented a similar petition from Norwich. The Prisons Bill, the Parliamentary Burghs (Scotland) Bill, and the Schools' (Scotland) Bill, were brought up from the Commons. SPANISH LEGION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, seeing the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) in his place, wished to say that the Noble Viscount had stated the other night that the Commission to settle the claims of the Legion was in active operation ; whereas it appeared from informa tion which he (Lord Londonderry) bad received, that the Commission had not yet assembled ; and that it was not known when it would meet. The Noble Viscount would certainly not wilfully make a mis-statement, but he (Lord L.) wished to have correct information upon this point, and to know whether the Noble Viscount would lay before the House the correspondence on the subject. Lord MELBOURNE said be had stated that the Com missioners (as be had understood) bad arrived in London. What papers were they that the Noble Marquis wished to have ? Lord LON DOND ERR Y—Copies of correspondence be tween Sir De Lacy Evans, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Black, &c. Viscount MELBOURNE —Suppose those papers have already been laid before the House of Commons. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then noticed the sub ject of the different constructions put by two Noble Lords ( Minto and Melbourne) on the additional articles of the Quadruple Treaty, and enquired whether the Noble Earl ( Minto) adhered to his opinion formerly expressed ? Earl MINTO said he still adhered to that opinion. Lord BROUG HAM said the Noble Earl's pertinacity in adhering to his opinion, did not lessen his (Lord Brougham's) conviction of the palpable error of that opinion, nor increase his estimation of the Noble Earl's wisdom. He now wished to ask the Noble Earl, if when the contingency which was supposed likely to arise no longer existed, there would be any objection to lay that Order in Council (respecting Dutch and Sardinian vessels) before their Lordships? The Duke of WELLINGTON said the inclination of his mind always was not to press a Government to produce papers of this nature, and which, if he were sitting on the other side of the House, he should no doubt resist the production of. Lord BROUGHAM admitted the general rule as laid down by the Noble Duke was quite correct. But he (Lord B.) had considered a case had been fully made out for an excep tion to that rule. And the Noble Earl (Minto) had persisted in his error, and who knew whether it might not be now acted upon ? Would the Noble Earl say if the Order in Council was signed by the Noble Earl himself alone, or by some other Member of the Government in conjunction with him. Earl MINTO was willing to state that if such an Order was issued, it would not be issued on the sole responsibility of the head of the Marine, but would be signed by one of the Secretaries of State. But he must decline answering positively a question relating to a condi tional order. Orders of the Admiralty, in fact, were not signed by the Lords, but by the Secretary. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY congratulated the Noble Viscount at the head of the Government on the speci mens of agreement and subordination which were presented in that and the other House of Parliament by Members of the Ministry which he bad organised. —( A laugh.) SPANISH INDEMNITY BONDS. Earl ABERDEEN then rose to present a petition, of which he bad given notice, from the holders of Spanish Indemnity Bonds. He admitted that ordinary foreign stockholders bad no right to ask from the Government more than its good offices with the Spanish Ministry. But the claimants whom he advocated were on a d;fferent footing. They founded their claims on a treaty to which this country was a party, and of which the Government was bound to see the just execution. He only wished by bringing the subject forward to " whet the almost blunted purpose" of the Government—to shame them into a due attention to the justice of the case. All that the petitioners asked was that the interest on their Bonds might be fairly paid. Viscount MELBOURNE admitted that these parties had a right to demand of the Government that they should use their endeavours to secure a due performance of the treaty in question. But he begged to deny that Government had not used all their exertions to this end. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY BILL. On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM this Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition from the licensed victuallers of New Sarum in favour of the Beer Act. Lord BROUGHAM should not think of pressing his Bill on this subject this Session. He hoped that it would be suffered to pass the House, and not be carried into execution till next Session. This would give a warning to persons not to embark their capital in beer-.hops. The Marquis of LANSDO WNE presented a petition praying that some arrangement might be made with foreign countries for an interchange of duplicate books and manu scripts in public libraries. ROYAL EXCHANGE REBUILDING BILL. - The Marquis of L A NSDO ‘V NE, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said that the Mercers' Company and the Gresham Committee had undertaken the re-building of the Royal Exchange. A sum of 150.0001. was raised to make improved avenues. He was glad to say that the plans were to be submitted to the Mayor and Common Council of the City, and to the Treasury, for their approval. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought there could be no doubt whatever that it was essentially necessary, for the commerce and convenience of this great city, that measures should be adopted to increase the number of the various avenues of communication between that which was very properly called the port of London and this part of the metropolis. He also thought that the Corporation had done its duty by taking steps to increase these communications. This town was not only the seat of the Court and Legislature, but the largest town and the greatest capital of Europe, and as there was only one communication with the port, no doubt, from that circumstance, great inconvenience was at present ex perienced at all parts of the town. He hoped that their Lord ships would give their unanimous support to the Bill. The Bill was then read a second time. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had adopted the two amendments suggested by the Noble Lord (Lord Ellenbo rough.) The first was with respect to the persons bringing over works for their own use, and the other with respect to anonymous author 3. He should move that the Bill be read a third time. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, by the Bill, one copy of every foreign work was to be sent to the British !annum. He thought that the Universities ought also to possess the sa ce privilege. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Bill only related to ::ooks imported, and the reason why the copy was to he sent to the _Museum vras, that it first was to be certified at Stationers' H a n, po.d then sent to the Museum as the best and most useful place of ds'posit. Lord BROUGHAM ‘lid not see why the same privilege should not be given to the Scoteb Universities. The Duke of WELLINGTON sad that they did not now possess the right. It had been taken away. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that if copies were sent to all our Universities, it might operate as a tax on our literature exported to foreign countrii2s, The present arrange ment depended on treaty, and other countrica might in retu rn c l a im a copy fo r each of heir Universities. This would cer ,ainly b e a ta x, rvhen we consiiier the number of Universities and Lyceums on the Contin , •nt. HA 74, tinder such d, ci s reutustence . s, thought it present gamed.

On the brinujou. up the repot on the motion of the Earl of HA DDI NGTON, elaus, s 15 16 17, and IS. welt. stru!.k out. The Earl of HADDINGTON proposed an a►ren+iment to the effect that the provisions of the Aet of the 6(h Geo. IV., relating to quarter sessions, should be continued in this Act. The Earl of ABERDEEN proposed amendments to the 36th and 39th clauses, for the purpose of enabling those agents who practi,:ed in Courts of Quarter Sessions to con- cruet cases in . the Sheriff Courts. Both amendments were agreed to, and after some verbal alterations had been made in the other clauses, the report, as amendod, was agreed to. The report of the Committee on the Juvenile Imprisonment Bill was, on the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, received, and the Bill ordered for the third reading on Monday. The Local Commissioners' Bill was, on the motion of Lord PORTMAN, read a second time, and ordered to be corn. mined. The Sheriffs' Courts (England) Bill went through a Com mittee, and was ordered to be reported. THE WESTMEATH ELECTION. The Mtrquis of W E STM EAT H said that in March last he felt it his duty to bring under the notice of their Lordships some transactions which arose out of the last election for the county of Westmeath. In the present instance, the case to which he wished to call their Lordships' attention arose out of the misconduct of a magistrate, whose appointment he de precated at the time as improper. As he on a former occa sion stated to their Lordships, this appointment was made at the instance of Sir Richard Nagle , wh o, as their Lordships must recollect, was himself removed from the Commission of the peace in 183 0 , and again reinstated in 1836, it was ne cessary that he should allude to that transaction. In 1832 the Irish Government found it incumbent on them to call Sir Richard Nagle to account for certain language held at a tithe meeting of which he was chairman, and the result was that Sir Richard Nagle wrote a letter, in which he re commended the Roman Catholics not to pay tithes. This conduct was unpalatable to the Government, and the conse quence was that the Noble and Learned Lord who then, and now, held the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland removed Sir Richard. Nagle from the magistracy of the county of Westmeath. Before his restoration, however, Sir R. Nagle wrote a letter to him (Lord Westmeath) recommending Mr. Shell as a fit and proper person to be placed in the Commission of the peace ; and in this letter he stated that the other Mem ber for the county concurred in the propriety of Mr. Shell's appointment. In reply to this communication, he ( Lord Westmeath) informed Sir Richard Nagle that he saw no necessity whatever for increasing the number of the magis trates in the district of the county in which it was in tended Mr. Sheil should act, and as to the opinion of the other party alluded to, he observed that little stress could be laid on the recommendation of that gentleman, as he resided at a distance of 19 miles from the place in question, and there fore could not be a competent judge as to whether a neces sity for the appointment of another magistrate existed or not. Subsequently to this he (Lord Westmeath) received a com municaion from the Lord Chancellor of Ireland on the sub ject. The Noble and Learned Lcrd stated that Mr. Shiol had been recommended to him by the Lord Lieutenant as a party whose appointment was desirable on the ground that it would tend to a more satisfactory administr ation of justice in that particular locality, and he answered this communication by as. suringethe Noble and Learned Lord that there was no occa sion whatever for such an appointment, there being already six or seven Magistrates who discharged the duties at Petty Sessions in a highly satisfactory manner. Notwithstanding this, however, the Noble and Learned Lord thought fit to in troduce Mr. Sheil into the Magistracy of the county of West n-eath, and such a mode of proceeding was so contrary to the doctrine laid down a few nights ago by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, that it was impossible not to call their Lordships' attention to it. Lord PLUNK ET was induced to interrupt the Noble Marquis, not because of anything he had said in reference to himself personally, but merely to apprise their Lurdships that no objection was intended to be offered to the motion with which the Noble Marquis mean to conclude. The object of the Noble Marquis was the production of the evidence taken before the Commissioners who presided at the inquiry held on this subject at Mullingar on the report of those Commis sioners, and as he, so far from objecting to the motion, was ready to consent that the whole of the papers should be laid on the table of their Lordships' House, he submitted to the good sense of the Noble Marquis whether his interruption was not justifiable. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that all he wanted was to lay Parliamentary grounds for his motion, and this he contended he had a perfect right to do. Viscount MELBOURNE—You can have the papers with out any statement. The Marquis of WESTMEATH—Yes, but the Voble Viscount must permit me to give their Lordships the grounds upon which I call for their production. Viscount MELBOURNE—No statement is necessary, as there is no ()Neal n to your motion. The Marquis of WESTMEATH should proceed. There was on the evcnine of the 11th of August last, a tumultuous meeting at a public-house in Mullingar, and after the police and resident Magistrates had arrived there Mr. Shell and Mr. Fitzsimon introduced themselves to this meeting. In March last he stated, as he believed at the time, that the two indi viduals whom he had named were found in the public-hou-e by the police ; but in this he was wrong, as they were not found there, but made their appearance immediately after the police had obtained admission to the house. The parties who writ to the public house on the occasion referred to were twenty five policemen, and they were accompanied by the Chief Constable and the resident Magistrate. The Chief Con stable, as it was his duty to do, represented the transaction to the proper authorities. But what was the consequence? Why, that Mr. Deglisau received the thanks of both Colonel Shaw Kennedy and Col. O'Donoughue for his conduct. Mr. Deglisau heard nothing more of the affair for many months, not until he was called upon by the Government to furnish a copy of his report. The occurrence took place in August, and it was not until December that this report was called for by the Government, although their attention had been pre.. viously called to the circumstance. Mr. Deglisau had not only been grossly insulted and spat upon, but his personal safety rendered it necessary that he should be attended by two orderlies during the whole election. On the night of the 11th of August be was accosted by Mr. Fitzs imon i n an in sulting manner. Mr. Fitzsimon asked him what business he had there ; and although Mr. Sheil knew Mr. Rowan, the resident magistrate well, he allowed him to be shoved and Bushed about without even once interfering to prevent it. The Irish Government thought the matter of sufficient importance to institute an inquiry, and it was not a little remarkable that when he first stirred in it he was informed that the official report had been lost. Although this statement Lad been made, it appeared from the testimony of Mr. Fitzsimon that the report had passed into the hands of Mr. Shell. It was afterwards in possession of Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Secretary of the Liberal Club ; and although he ( Lord West meath) was unable to show that its contents were known to Priest O'Brien, Priest O'Fa r r e ll, and several other pa rties connected with that club, in subsequent Committees Mr. Drummond, in a studied manner, endeavoured to get rid of the subject, and it was not until lie had been sudd en ly ca ll e d on f o r the report by Lord Mor peth that he took any steps to obtain it. HOW was it pos sible, after such prevarication on the part of the Irish Secre tary, that the affairs of that country could be properly carried on ? On the I Ith of December Mr. Drummond wrote to Mr. Rowan, and in this letter Mr. Drummond stated that Mr. Fitzsimon and Mr. Shell had been called to account; but what was the testimony of Mr. Shell on this head ? Why he denied that he had eve; been called on for explanation by the Irish Government. Lord PLUNKET—sIow does that appear? The Marquis of WESTMEATH said it appeared from the evidence given by Mr. Shell on the inquiry . What was it that further appeared from that evidence ? Why that Mr. Drummond was in communication during the whole of these transactions with Mr. Shell. Mr. Shell de clared that the Lord Lieutenant was perfectly satisfied with his conduct; but what did Mr. Drummond say? Why, that Mr. Sheil had been written to for explanation. There was, then, a mistake somewhere ;'for Mr. Sheil nut only denied Mr. Drummond's statement, but asserted that the Lord Lieu tenant was satisfied with his conduct. If was true that after the occurrence at the public-house Mr. Fitzsimon apologized both to Mr. Rowan and Mr. Deglisau, but he at the same time used language towards the police which was insulting to them and the Government. Mr. Rowan declared that he appealed to Mr. Shiel to maintain tranquillity , but without effect; and he was then told that the police had no e r tgsp r h g ehea l teat l ell.gri to dewfnoeht b rfl oe e ttmhgh t eaea h ,n e cce r oow o unr anidtsst conduct to interrupt eft e sh r vew r ze u inis l di i tt nnshtue t ut h aehr td e beh f . rin r n e ep e etrH h h, freehol ders . protege en d gwcd e coo r hyurn s geal . f demrdt 0 di bmhes l etyobwshnnulteaehposmef, them hst guilty.latr supposed But how different was the c yh ou abd r e s c e baeu o es f ne p da r is o nm ce ois e sr d ea i dn ng in this and n o m t i h s e si r o c n as o e f s. the M p r e . a e ß e la m e e k r e e r l i ; m a e n n d n b c rr .l a et stha s ht Nadit, M re h. was r fao . otirh, : da t thetoo. nntencheoesluol Georgn;lpwt present set , hose o efi nno n gKtn e cet cc o hr rar y f anstee t , h dwwa e . anasds m ,d\t o li hs s r been placed in the balcony of one of his windo ws w i t h ou t hi s t i t : a en s so re we f el u et l da t hg o lee the Government, he also was rem ove d f rom t h e parallel e o NI : i c g o is n t n r a eo c ifl y e N w la ht a a s t T i a n al thoughw he had used denunciations at Carlow, whi c h M r.

This, then, was anything but even-banded justice. The Noble Marquis, in co nclusion, moved for the p ro d uct i o n of the evidence t aken during the inquiry at Mullingar, and the report of the Commissioners thereupon. Lord PLUNKET said that it was not his intention to re ply to that part of the speech of the Noble Marquis which applied to himself in relation to the appointment of Mr. Sheil to the Magistracy of the county of Westmeath, and be t h oug ht their Lordships would alsoexcuse him if h e d ec li ne d to o o b n l e the Ma Lo rq r u d is Lie th u r t o e u n g an h t, the imputations which Mr. ummond, and Lord Morpe th. The Marquis of NN E bT . MEATH denied that he had in feil l e ie w had the cast N in tended to cast any imputation on Lord Morpeth. Lord PLUNKET said that the reason he had mentioned the name of Lord Morpeth as one of those against whom censure had been pronounced by the Noble Marquis was be cause it was Lord Morpeth who had recommended the ap pointment of Mr. Shell, on the ground that it would not only be satisfactory, but lead to the peace and tranquillity o f th a t part of the country. The observations which the Noble Marquis had made about Mr. Degli an Mr. Blacker, and others, had no relation whatever to the pr, sent subject, but although the Noble Marquis had spent upwards of h a lf an hour is making stateme nts respecting the trial which had resulted from a transaction which took place in an alehouse in Mullinear. b e shoelrl like to knew nn what atiti,,eite the N r-'-•.e!• es. ststements. The enly aeci• rey on which s u c h sou. me its could be make was the . ui c and that was not before their Lordships. How then could they judge whether the Noble Marquis was right or wrong I' So far as he knew of the evi dence he believed the Noble Marquis was in error from beginning to end, in all that he had stated ; and this he would find, when the papers for which he had called were produced. Mr. Seeil was a highly respectable gentle man, and, although he might not possess as large a property as other Magistrates, still he; property was considerable. It was no objection to Mr. Sh it th t there were enough of Ma gistrates without him ; and that eas the only ebjertioe which the Noble Marquis had urged against his appoint awn , . The Noble ,Marquis said that his prognostieatioi s with resp-ct to Mr. Sheil were borne out be the evidence ; hut if it should turn out that. the contrary was the case, why had not the Ne ble Marquis attended the inquiry, as he might have dune, in order to make good the cleave he had brought forward ? In conclusion, he must say, that he had scarcely ever witnessed a more unprecedented course than that which had been adopted by the Noble Marquis that night in moving for these papers ; and he could only add, that if he was rightly informed, the statements made by the Noble Marquis, so far as the charge against Mr Fitzsimon and Mr. Sled' were concerned, were strongly denied by the evidence relating to the transactions themselves. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the N.)ble Mar quis had risen for the purpose of calling the attention of their Lordships to that which must ever be considered a very im portant subject by their Lordships—namely the appointment of magistrates in Ireland, and the conduct of the Noble and Learned Lord with respect to those appointments.—( Hear, hear.) The Nolile Marquis had also moved for other papers the object of which was to show what had been the nature of the conduct of the Irish Government with regnrd to apvint mcnts to the magistracy, as well as what was the state , f so ciety in Ireland, which was produced by those appointments. —( Hear, hear, hear.) He (the Duke of Wellington) found that one of the gentlemen who had thus been appointed a ma gistrate, having thought proper to place himself at the head of an illegal meeting in Ireland, held for the purpose of sti mulcting the destruction of property, which had ever been considered sacred by Parliament, had been dismissed from the magistracy by the Marquis of Anglesey. —( Hear.) And yet sometime afterwards the Noble and Learned Lord opposite had thought proper to appoint this very geetleman to the magis tracy—( Hear, bear)—contrary to the remonstrances of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, the Noble Marquis who had introduced this motion—( Hear, hear)—and subsequently to the transaction complained of. Lord PLUNK ET—The appointment was not in any way connected with those transactions. The Duke of WELLINGTON begged the Noble and Learned Lord's ptrdon, but no one could doubt that the ap pointment of both the gentlemen alluded to in this motion— appointments made in the teeth of remonstrances on the part of Lords Lieutenant of counties—were nothing less than po- Utica' appointments. He was sorry to be under the necessity of referring tc, the subject, but he must say that until Ireland should be governed with justice and fairness—( Hear, hear) — they might give her either Ponr-laws or Corporations if they pleased, but they would not render her condition by any means so happy a one as he most anxious and desirous to see h.— ( Cheers.) The Marquis of WESTMEATH, in reply, stated that notwithstanding the explanation of tile Noble and Learned Lord he still remained of the same opinion as to the necessity he was under, in the discharge of his public duty, of bringing these questions under the notice of their Lordships.—( Hear.) The returns were then ordered, and their Lordships ad journed. FROM LAST NIGH'T'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JULY 18, 1838.

EXECUTION IN PARIS. Jun , 22.—Executions are happily becoming so rare that, perhaps, some details of the one which took place yesterday morning may not be be uninteresting. The circumstances of the murder of a servant girl, on the Ist of January, will not have been forgotten. On going into her bed room she found a man rifling her drawers. From the confession of the murderer, it appears that he did not contemplate assassination, but told the girl that if she gave an alarm he would kid her. He then left her to descend the stairs, when she to:lowed and cried for help. He then returned, threw her down, and stabbed her. The name of the assassin was Jadin. He refused to appeal to the Court of (7assation, which would have prolonged his life twenty days and app:ared anxious fur the fatal moment to arrive. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, he was awakened from a profound sleep by the Abbe Montes, who has frequently visited him, and to whom he made his confession. " Aid ah I Mon. si4-ur ]'Abbe," said Jadin, " your ear;y visit tells me that they no longer mean to leave me in suspense. I hope to.day is the last. Do not be uneasy, I expected it. lam perfectly resi,ned I shall not want courage. After all, I deserve my fate. I only intended to rob ; why did I kill that unfortunate girl ?" The venerable eccle iastic administered the consolations of religion, and gave him the penitential psalms to read. A gaoler by his desire brought him some bread and a glass of wine. Jadin was then taken into the outer room, where were the exectt tioner and his assistants, and underwent the horrible preparations whic, they call the " toilette;" his coat was taken off, and he remained vilth only a pair of gray linen pantoloons, perfectly clean, as was his shirt. His hands were tied behind hie back _ _ _ . . The collar of his viirt wai then cut off and fel at his feet ; he kicked it away; whilst they were cutting the hair from the nape of the neck, he said, "It is true I killed her, but not with premeditation. The jury were a little severe, they ought to have con4dered the state of drunken ncss I was then in." There is here a remarkable coincidence with the Case of the unfortunate soldier Rickey, now under sentence of death in England, but whose case is notwithstanding much less criminal than that of Jadin. During the progress of the carriage to the barrier St. Jacques, Jadin constantly conversed with his confessor:—" If Gon," said he, " has mercy enough to pardon so great a: criminal; if remorse may suf. fire to disarm his vengeance, lam not unworthy his mercy. Far from being born to crime, I was inclined to good, and I should have been vir. tuous but for the temptations of passion and bad example. My heart was not hard. I had no wish to assassinate that poor girt--I know not what fatality pushed me on." The chariot, escorted by municipal guards on horseback, and gen darmes, arrived about eight o'clock at the place St. Jacques, where the scaffbld had been erected in the night. It was sin rounded by an im mense crowd, amongst which, to their shame be it spoken, were many elegantly.dressed women. There were also cabriolets, and even several private carriages. There are few windows looking on to the scene; those of the wine shop in the rue St. Jacques were let for 150 fi miss. On descending from the chariot at the foot of the scaffold Jadin fell on his knees, made a short prayer, kissed the crucifix, and embraced the Abbe Moores. He then rose and mounted the st:ps of the scaffold rapidly. Turning his head, he said, " Adieu, Mons. t'Abbe Monr,s, pray for me. I had something to say to M. Allard, the chief of the secret police, but there is no time now." When strained to the fatal plank lie tried to shake off his cap ; but, cot being able, he sad to the executioner, "Be good enough to begin by taking off my cap." This done, he looked up at the horrible knife with sto.c firmness; yet his face was pale, and a convulsive movement of the lips was visible. An instant afterwards Jairin do longer existed. In an interview with the Abbe Mantes yesterday, Jadin took two rings from his fingers, and giving them to the Abbe, prayed him to de. liter them to his broths r. "He will soon know," said he, "th it will be no use to come to see me to.morrow. Beg of him from me to have a mass said every new year's day for— her." He pronounced the latter word with considerable effort. It will b , remembered the Ist of January was the day of the murder " Tell him this yourself, I en. treat you, for to him this request will l - e sacred." This execution, like most others, appeared to be considered by the crowd as rather a holyday spectacle than anything else, and added an. other proof to the thousands which have preceded it, that these san guinary and disgusting exhibitions hate no moral effect upon the class rif persons who usually attend them. For the ladies who witnessed this spectacle from their carriage windows we can only feel unmitigated dis gust ; it is carrying the appetite fur strong emotions to a lamentable pitch indeed.—Morning Paper. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) Suona.—The West India Market has presented a very quiet aspect since our last. This alter'', on there was rather more life in the market : a fair extent of business was transacted privately, the put, bases amount ing to 400 hhds. and trs at ihe prices established on Friday; the refiners have been the principal buyers; besines whi, li 128 hhds. 10 trs Barbadoes at auction went off steadily at an advance iit 6d to Is, fine brought 63s to 63s 6d, good 62s to 62,6 d, mid 59s to 6ls 62. The Reined market has presented a very lively appearance; the grocers have purchased very freely of all descriptions of goons, paying an advance of Is; Lumps rather under the standard have brought 75s 6d, and those passing 76s to 76s 6d. For shipping there a:e several orders here for double Crushed at 345, but none is to be had under 34s 6il fot immediate delivery ; for deli very in September and October there have been several MlA's made at 33s ed. Bastards above 50s have secured a steady sale at previous rates. MAVIUTIUS.—The market has been quiet since our last ; both grocers and refiners have purchast d sparingly. For brown and grey sorts, the better kinds of yellow sold rather dearer; fine white 63s a 63s ed, good yellow 57s 6d a 58s. EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been taken sparingly for home consumption, 62s to 63s 6d for fine white, 39s 6d to 61s for mid and good ; and 58s to '.;93 for low yellow In Manilla there has been little done ; good bright yello at 22s to 22s 6d, fine 23s to 23s 6d, damps and da maged sold at their full value, the former at 18s 6d to 21s 6d, and the latter at 19s 6d to 20s. COFFEE.—For the clean descriptions of British Plantation there has been a very brisk demend from the grocers, and an advance of 3s on previous rates has been established; unclean sorts have sold well, as prices 2s above those of Tuesday last. Jamaica, pea berry 1245, good middling at 117 s to 120 s, low miJang and middling 104 s to 115 s, good ord 94s to 955, fine and tine fine ord 97s 6d to 102 s ; Demerara, good and fine ord unclean 85s to 88s, low mid 103 s 6d.

TEA.—The public sales have concluded. As might have been ex pected the effect of the announcement of so large a quantity as fourteen million pounds for sale was an immediate cessation of all demand for Tea in the Market, and at the opening of these sales it became evident this would prevent the trade from buying to any extent, although in the early part many of the importers were anxious to make sales at very reduced prices, yet little was taken by the trade. Since the auctions the market has exhibited a heathy appearance ; a good demand haste en experienced for ad descriptions, and Bohea, Congote and l'wankey have commanded an advance of Id, and in some instances 1 per lb. The d:liveries last week were large ; there have been several arrivals. MOLASSES.—West India have secured a fair sale at previous rates, St. Vincent+ of good quality yielding 26s 6d to 27s per cwt.
